Halloween Costume - Hair

From the posts earlier this week, you know that KJ is going to be Medusa for Halloween. I was able to construct a dress for her out of fabric that looks like snake skin. Next is the hair. After discussing several way of getting toy snakes to stay in KJ's hair we opted on using curlers.

The plan is to roll KJ's hair in curlers and pull the snakes through the middle of the curlers. So, the snakes will be encircled by the curlers. I was able to find a package of curlers at the dollar store for a $1. We purchased the snakes from Wal-Mart for $5. If we are able to pull this off, we will have made KJ into Medusa for under $15. Not bad for a custom Halloween costume.
